Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: With regard to Jane Jakeman's article of 29 July ('How food snobs guard the right to scoff'), it could be that the middle classes choose to have dinner parties in order to enjoy the company of their friends and delicious food and wine at a fraction of the cost of a restaurant, to forget about their computer terminals and avoid the possibility of encountering such waspish people as Ms Jakeman.

Yours truly,

ROSEMARY PUGH-THOMAS

West Monkton, Somerset
